Ok, so I didn't have a .050 wrench to tune the Jewell from
@hic28 , and neither did the hardware store. So our friend up north a bit in Seattle
@Threadcutter308 contacts me and sez 'wait, before you buy anything lemme look around'. Sweet, ok. So I get home a bit ago and find a package on the porch directly from a company. Pick it up and it's kinda heavy and I can't think of anything else that's suppose to come in except some 5.56 ammo from the PSA sale. Then I notice something regarding the name it's being sent to and know right off the bat, it's not something I ordered and it's gotta be from our guy.
Thanks a million my friend. As stated in my text, I will cherish them for years to come. Just how cool is that. Eat your hear out

On a sad note, this stock is not going to work out. Not bashing it, it just ain't gonna work out. Love the damn thing but it will not be able to be corrected and frankly I've lost all confidence in it at this point. I shimmed the front and back guard screws and got the floor plate to actually operate as designed, but now the back of the bottom metal protrudes below the inlet and the tang is floating, deal breaker. I shot some rounds that I know to be stable in 7MM's and it ain't happening.
Even if I ground the front guard screw I'd still be in the same situation with the floor plate not able to latch. I can't have that or a floating barreled action at the tang. Oh, almost forgot. Since I noticed the tang floating I figured I better check if the barrel is still floating as it should. Nope. It's slammed into the channel and you can't get one piece of paper to slide down it when before this I could slide a piece 3 pieces thick down it without issue. I'm gonna toss the OEM bottom metal off another Remington on it just for drill then take another barreled action and toss it in the Stocky's Stock just to satisfy my curiosity. Then I'm afraid this thing has to go bye bye. Hope like hell they send a shipping label and take this thing back or I'm screwed. Stay tuned, and as always, fingers crossed.
Thx Again @Threadcutter308 !!!!!
